Stats are fun. Denver broke down on the big run and 3-4 big plays on 3rd to keep drives alive. They're not perfect, but they are damn good and the pressure they put on the QB is fun.
The Browns and Raiders should help Den move to 6-0, hell they could lose if Oak puts it all together. Either way, the schedule after the bye is brutal, so they need these next two. The playoffs are a long way off and this team isn't playing at a balanced high level to expect too much when they advance. I'm cautiously optimistic. |

Teams would LOVE to be able to run the ball and avoid our pass rush, but they soon realize they're not getting anywhere with it and abandon it. Denver has an EXCELLENT run defense and it's only going to get better because Derek Wolfe is coming back this week. |

But fundamentally the question remains. If a team can't stop the run shouldn't it have trouble with one of the top running teams in the league? |

who could have ever imagined a Peyton Manning team would be running away with yet another division title?
So surprising. |

Before the game yesterday, the Vikings averaged 30 carries per game. Your defense only saw 21 of them and that's why they fell short of their yearly average for total yardage. |

However, do you think Minnesota cut their number of runs by almost a third because they realized their run game wasn't working against the Denver D? |

Vikings run defense must be pretty awful. They just let Hillman more than double his career YPC.
